Dear Shareholder

Renounceable Rights Issue

On Thursday 7 May 2015, Valence Industries Limited (ASX:VXL) (Valence) announced a 1 for 6 renounceable pro rata entitlement issue at 29 cents per new Valence share, together with one (1) free attaching listed option (in the same class as the existing listed options) for every 2 shares subscribed for ( Rights Issue ).

The issue price of 29 cents per new share represents a discount of approximately 19.7 % to the 5 day volume weighted average closing price of Valence shares up to and including Thursday 30 April 2015 (being the last trading day prior to announcement of the Rights Issue).

The Rights Issue is seeking to raise approximately A$9.4 million (before costs and expenses of the offer). The net funds raised by the Rights Issue will be applied towards:

  • Completion of 2015 drilling, assay and metallurgy program

  • Construction of scalable tailings facilities and process water return systems

  • Completion of existing plant commissioning

  • Preliminary engineering and design for production expansion

  • Costs of the Placement, Rights Issue and First Debt Facility (see ASX announcement on 7 May 2015); and

  • Working capital requirements

The Directors are pleased that you will be offered the opportunity to participate in this capital raising to fund Valence’s exciting expansion and development. We are hopeful that you will continue your loyal support of Valence.
